Intel Core i7 4770K Haswell OCed to 5GHz at 0.9V

As we draw closer to the launch of Intel's 4th generation Core CPUs, or Haswell, it is no wonder that we are starting to see more leaks and one showing Intel's Core i7 4770K overclocked to 5GHz at 0.9V certainly drew a lot of attention.

An impressive overclocking achievement was spotted by Ocaholic.ch and shows a CPU-Z validation of Core i7 4770K overclocked to exactly 5005.83MHz at just 0.904V. As far as we can tell, Hyper-threading was disabled and it is not clear if the CPU is actually stable enough to run anything, but in any case, it is still an impressive result, especially at such low voltage.

The rest of the specs include 4GB of DDR3 memory and ASRock's upcoming Z87 Extreme4 motherboard.
